Field of wild rice
If you love rice, this is a versatile recipe as you can add any vegetable you like and any amount.
I always thought wild rice was a member of the rice family, but it isn’t at all. It belongs to the group of grasses that is native to North America . However, it is just like rice as it is grown in shallow waters, particularly around the fresh water lakes of the Great Lakes . Most of the wild rice we eat today is cultivated and not harvested from growing wild.
Wild rice has a nutty flavor and a rice-like shape and it is perfect for pilaf, salads and soups. Actually, it is even delicious in muffins and makes a crusty crunch when added to home-made breads. Wild rice is the healthiest of the rice family, having less calories but more protein and vitamins than wild rice.
Brown rice, being a whole grain, has more fiber and more carbohydrates. It is the least processed rice, kernels from only which the hulls have been removed. It requires a longer cooking time, usually around 45 minutes.
This rice dish is high on flavor with the addition green beans, carrots, sweet peppers and almonds. It is delicious and I hope you give it a try!
